Answer:

<h2><em>chloroplast</em></h2>

Explanation:

Chloroplasts are specialized organelles found only in plants and some types of algae. These organelles carry out the process of photosynthesis, which turns water, carbon dioxide, and light energy into nutrients from which the plant can obtain energy. There can be over one hundred chloroplasts in certain plant cells.

Chloroplasts are disk-shaped organelles that are surrounded by a double membrane. The outer membrane forms the external surface of the chloroplast and is relatively permeable to small molecules, allowing substances entry into the organelle. The inner membrane lies just beneath the outer membrane and is less permeable to external substances.

Between the outer and inner membrane is a thin intermembrane space that is about 10-20 nanometers wide. The center of the chloroplast that is enclosed by the double membrane is a fluid matrix called the stroma (you can think of this like the cytoplasm of the chloroplast).

Within the stroma, there are many structures called thylakoids, which look like flattened disks. Thylakoids are stacked on top of one another in vascular plants in stacks called grand. Thylakoids have a high concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoids, which are pigments that capture light energy from the sun. The molecule chlorophyll is also what gives plants their green color.

to is when a stimulus successfully stimulates an action potential in its specific neuron. how your brain interprets the message
Xelga [282]

Information about the body and its surroundings is provided through the senses. Olfaction (smell), gustation (taste), equilibrium (balance and body posture), vision, and hearing are the five distinctive senses that only humans possess. We also have broad senses, sometimes known as somatosensation, that can react to stimuli including pressure, temperature, pain, and vibration. Somatosensation includes the sense of limb position used to monitor kinesthesia (limb movement), proprioception (the position of bones, joints, and muscles), and vestibular sensory, which is an organism's sense of spatial direction and balance. Although the sensory systems connected to these senses vary greatly, they all have the same purpose: to cause the nervous system to produce an electrical signal in response to a stimulus, such as light, sound, or body position.

<h3>What is Action potential ?</h3>

When a neuron transfers information away from the cell body and down an axon, it experiences an action potential. The action potential is also referred to as a "spike" or a "impulse" by neuroscientists. A depolarizing current causes an explosion of electrical activity known as the action potential.

Different ions crossing the neuron membrane result in action potentials. The sodium channels first open in response to a stimulus. Because the inside of the neuron is negative compared to the outside and there are much more sodium ions on the inside, sodium ions rush within the cell.

Depolarization, overshoot, and repolarization are the three phases of an action potential.

compare and contrast the processes of photosynthesis and aerobic respiration. how are they similar and how do they differ?
Brut [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration (aerobic) are both metabolic processes that occur in specialized organnelles of living cells. These two processes are so unique to one another in the sense that one uses the product of the other as a reactant and vice versa.

Photosynthesis is an anabolic reaction that occurs in the Chloroplast of autotrophs in which captured energy from sun is used to synthesize organic food (glucose) by combining carbondioxide (CO2) and water. Oxygen is released in this photosynthetic process.

6CO2 + 6H20 --------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Aerobic cellular respiration, on the other hand, is a catabolic process undergone by every aerobic living cell (in the mitochondria) in which glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP (energy) releasing CO2 and water (H2O) in the process.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ------> 6C02 + 6H2O

One spectacular difference is that photosynthesis uses solar energy (from sun) while aerobic cellular respiration uses chemical energy to power the process.

What is true of lithospheric plates?
klemol [59]

Answer:

A. They are constantly moving. I think.

Explanation:

Each lithospheric plate is composed of a layer of oceanic crust or continental crust superficial to an outer layer of the mantle. Containing both crust and the upper region of the mantle, lithospheric plates are generally considered to be approximately 60 mi (100 km) thick. Earth's tectonic plates may have taken as long as 1 billion years to form, researchers report today in Nature. The plates — interlocking slabs of crust that float on Earth's viscous upper mantle — were created by a process similar to the subduction seen today when one plate dives below another, the report says. A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest.
